Filter by:This randomized clinical trial is an adolescent focused implementation science study directed at improved social support and prevention of both HIV/STI's and subsequent unplanned pregnancies. The study population is pregnant adolescents who are attending antenatal care in Kampala, Uganda The acceptability and effectiveness of two enhanced peer lead, reproductive health promotion interventions compared to routine health care will be studied. The study participants will be individually randomized to one of three arms.
This is a phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of the highly neutralizing anti-human immunodeficiency virus-1 monoclonal antibodies 3BNC117 and 10-1074, when given in combination, in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected individuals. This study is intended to support the development of the combination of 3BNC117 and 10-1074 mAbs for use as prophylaxis against HIV infection in healthy HIV-uninfected individuals at risk for HIV infection.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how a new method for performing oral (mouth) exams can help doctors check for suspicious lesions (called premalignant and malignant oral lesions [PMOL]) in the mouth of HIV-infected smokers.
This study aims to minimize risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in adolescent boys and girls, ages 15-16, by promoting HIV testing and counseling (HTC) through the use of an interactive videogame. With input from focus groups of adolescents, the investigators will adapt an HIV prevention videogame, PlayForward: Elm City Stories, for adolescents ages 15-16 . The investigators will then pilot test the videogame in 30 adolescents to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the videogame. They will also assess whether the videogame increased the participants' intentions to obtain HTC, whether they actually obtained HTC, and whether the videogame increased knowledge of HIV.
Phase 1 PK Study of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring in Lactating Women.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major global health concern which has resulted in an estimated 39 million deaths world-wide. Although it is now a treatable medical condition there is still avoidable morbidity and mortality associated with HIV infection in the UK. Late diagnosis (CD4 count of <350 cells/mm3 or AIDS-defining illness irrespective of CD4 count) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, increased risk of transmission, impaired response to antiretroviral therapy and increased healthcare costs. In Grampian, 49% of patients were diagnosed late between 1984 and 2011. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the factors associated with late HIV diagnosis in Grampian between 2009 and 2014 to ascertain whether diagnoses could have been made earlier. The study constitutes a secondary data analysis. Individuals newly diagnosed with HIV between January 2009 and December 2014 were identified from a Health Protection Scotland (HPS) database. The majority of outcome data were extracted from the existing HPS database. Missing data were collected via a retrospective review of patient case-notes, laboratory reports and an electronic patient management system. Patients were classified as early or late diagnosis and comparisons were made between the groups using statistical tests. The study sought to provide a basis for recommendations for improvement of information and services to facilitate earlier HIV diagnosis in Grampian.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence with levels of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reservoir and residual viremia in suppressed, HIV-infected individuals on chronic ART.
Scaling up integrated, cost-efficient HIV services for people who inject drugs (PWID) in Needle Syringe Programs (NSPs) is urgently needed in Kazakhstan, where only one-third of the estimated 19,000 HIV-positive PWID are ever linked to HIV care and only 10% initiate ART with 4% achieving viral suppression. The study's aim is to evaluate the implementation, effectiveness, and sustainability of an integrated HIV service model in 24 NSPs located in 3 Kazakhstani city areas. This model will employ highly effective strategies that will include peer-driven recruitment of PWID in NSPs using social network strategies (SNS), integrating rapid HIV testing in NSPs with HIV Care Clinic nurses, and linking HIV positive PWID in NSPs to HIV care using the ARTAS (Anti-Retroviral Treatment and Access to Services) case management model. Findings will have important public health implications for improving HIV service delivery for PWID in the Central Asian region and other countries with injection driven epidemics.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Dengue vaccine in a population of special interest, such as HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Primary Objective: - To describe the safety of each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Secondary Objectives: - To describe the humoral immune response to each dengue serotype at baseline and after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. - To detect the CYD dengue vaccinal viremia post-Inj 1 in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. - To describe changes in CD4 count and HIV RNA viral load after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Observational Objective: - To describe the FV (YF, Dengue, Zika) serological status in the study population at baseline.
Project AProaCH is an open pilot trial of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals with HIV with various psychological comorbidities, which the investigators call "syndemics". Syndemics are co-occurring psychosocial problems that interact with each other and with health behavior such as HIV sexual transmission risk behavior and adherence to self care.
